All of the floors are now vinyl plank, cast iron tubs, new washer/dryer in each unit (to attract upper end of market), 2 of 3 units needed new HVAC, etc.  

Kind of ironic that the law protect the rights of the tenant in such a situation, yet they can now come and go as they please to use a pool being maintained at our expense for the electricity to keep things running.

Iron out some of the details with the end goal in mind.  

If you have to remove the old linoleum tiles in some places to make it even, i found the easiest way to remove stubborn glue is to iron the tiles.

This property (3 bedrooms, 2 bath) has a sewer line (cast iron) break up under the foundation and I am planning to get a re-route the complete plumbing underneath.

From what I've heard, they're pretty wise to all sorts of attempts to get around that owner-occ period by investors and will have you sign whatever iron clad docs stating that you will be actually occupying the home for whatever period of time after purchasing it and if you violate that, you can get in all sorts of trouble (financially at least)

I know it is ironic, but none of my tenants are section 8, and all of my properties are in Santa Clara County. :)

Now, I do most investors like to stick it to buyers while smiling perhaps saying a prayer with them as you have them sign and do their best to tell themselves they are honest dealers," I find this to be the most ironic line of the whole thing.

It also means your plumbing is probably cast iron, and your wiring really needs checked out it is probably knob and tube. 

Not sure but I would assume in FL things like:are they wood frame and what about termitesIf built on a slab (or even if not) what about the plumbing...I think that can sometimes be a challenge--  where I am there is typically a basement so if there is a plumbing problem in the house it can be accounted for, that said, I've had to adjust my offer price a number of times after inspection because the older cast iron drain from the house to the street needed replacedReally not sure how the 1960s electric would be in FL / or what amp service but typically seems okay here as long as it is copperI would spend some extra time on evaluating the major mechanical items --  electric, plumbing, heat/ac, and of course the impact of termites...even still as long as these are known and calculated into the deal you should be okay
